don't trust anyone but me

James is a very respectable, as he has always been. He is quite the gentlemanly type, for he is often the one person who you always see opening doors and helping to carry the bags for that little old lady to her car from the store. It's just who he is, for it's how he was raised. His father was always the same way, and so those principles were passed down from father to son. And he doesn't mind it in the least. Apart from this he's always been a kind man, and he'll always listen to the troubles of another if council is needed.

Apart from his kind and proper nature, he seems to be quite wise, even for his age. Most think that it comes with the title of being headmaster, but truthfully he's always been that way. He's just always had a sort of natural talent for providing advice to anyone that asks him for it. It goes hand in hand almost with his level-headed aspect, for no matter what the situation he always manages to stay calm. He'll always do whatever it takes to keep his loved ones and his students safe, no matter what the cost for him may actually be.

i won't tell anybody

Originally from London, England, James has always known what he is since he was a young boy, and he took no shame in it. Even from the day he first started to see and converse with Albion, he wasn't afraid by what was happening, for he was merely a little child after all. But the true reason he wasn't surprised by this manifestation on any means was because his mother was a daemoner as well.

It was never strange to see a small ocelot traveling around the home or roaming about between the trees in the backyard, because often times his mother wasn't far behind either. And so when James himself started speaking and talking about how he was always going outside to play with Albion, or that they would have to wait for Albion before he could start his bath, his parents, especially his mother, could figure out what was happening, that he was a daemoner just as she was.

By the time Albion had fully developed and chosen the large form of the White Lion, the family was beginning to move. Where, some may ask? Well, the answer to that question is the one and only United States of America. More specifically, the state of Washington in a small town known as Villa. There had been rumors from passing strangers through London that a school was there, a place for daemoners to learn more about what they were and how to control the abilities that came with the daemon. And so it was that James' mother decided they would move there so that he could have a good education about this.

It was within the first few days they had moved that James was immediately enrolled, and his school training began. He stayed with the Institute after that, even after he had graduated. He found himself a place on the staff there, and he made a good name for himself as an instructor for a good five or six years. But the day the headmaster stepped down because she was retiring, James was the first person who stepped up to take her place, and truthfully, not many objected due to his skill with the kids. He's held the position for almost three years now, and he doesn't plan on stepping down anytime soon.

The only issue with James is the fact he doesn't have any formal training. If he perhaps wanted to be the music teacher, the librarian, or a security guard, he wouldn't have needed to go to college, but as it stands, he has nothing to qualify him to be a professor, let alone a headmaster. At his age, he could have achieved a graduate degree or pHD in a select field (like possibly education, biology, or childhood psychology) and thus would be more qualified than some of the present teachers. He needs that something that would make him headmaster over older faculty like Lily and Darren.
